TechnipFMC scores Neptune Energy EPCI contract

TechnipFMC has been awarded an integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) contract from Neptune Energy for the Seagull project located in the Central North Sea.

The company will manufacture, deliver, and install subsea equipment including production and water wash pipelines, umbilicals, subsea structures, and control systems.

Neptune Energy is the operator of the Seagull discovery, together with joint venture partners BP and Japex. Seagull is a high-pressure, high-temperature oil field located in the Central North Sea in a water depth of approximately 90 metres.

Comprising four subsea production wells, a new five-kilometre pipe-in-pipe production line, and a 17-kilometre control umbilical, Seagull outputs will travel via the Heron pipeline system to the BP-operated Eastern Trough Area Project (ETAP) development and on through the Forties pipeline system to Grangemouth, UK.
